Q: Changing 'Hey Siri' Voice Activation Command

There really needs to be a way to change the "hey Siri" command. When one has 2 iDevices, they activate at the same time. We either need a cydia tweak or an update. But no more updates. Some fix this in Cydia,  please.

Discussion of jailbreaking is not permitted here.

There must be a way to manually change the "hey siri" in the code. But in the txt files it not "hey siri" its something strange like "@%". This must be defined somewhere else in the code! Anyone?

No, there is not. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback

Of course there is. They programmed it so if someone can find the code, it can be changed. They probably did a job of hiding it (e.g., "@%" instead of "hey siri" in the code.

Let me rephrase: No, you can't change it without removing the protections on the phone, leaving it open to malware and voiding the warranty on the phone.  And, depending on how it's coded and encrypted, you may also run afoul of copyright laws by changing it.

eeeeeeeeeeeeehhhh I don't know man. Apple is usually pretty cool with modifications like this. I think they would enjoy it, and perhaps even give me a prize were I to do it!!

You must be talking about a different company with the same name. Apple allows very little in the way of modifications of iOS. They restrict acces to many of the APIs. This is why the Android OS and jailbreaking are popular among people who like to tweak the UI. Apple doesn't approve of either one.

Anyone figure out how to do this yet?

SSo next time you go into a Starbucks or classroom full of iPads plugged in, say "Hey Siri".  Then go for it.

I'm not sure why I'd want to do that but, hey, if it amuses you and you don't feel bad about annoying people, have at it. Though, come to think of it, I rarely see people with their iPads plugged in in Starbucks (where I spend way too much time and money). The advantage of great battery life.

You can disable "Hey, Siri" when you are in a public place.

We should all give up on this conversation. Looks like we are stuck with "Hey Siri". Although, It would be fun to walk up to someones plugged in iPhone and say "hey siri, text my wife. I want a divorce b*&ch!" lol If you've noticed, you don't have to say "Hey siri" and wait for siri to activate. You can just say "hey siri (and any command)" in one sentence and it does it. Of course, the person would have to be away from their phone and the phone would probably have to be unlocked.
